Funeral Services

Many people do not realize the importance of a funeral service for everyone who has experienced a loss. It is the first step toward closure and an important part of the grieving process. A funeral service is more than just a gathering of family and friends to say goodbye to a loved one, it is an opportunity to celebrate and remember a life well lived.

The type of service you choose for yourself or a loved one is an important and very personal decision. At Routsong Funeral Home our professional staff will explain the funeral process, show you the various options available and assist you with designing a service that truly reflects the spirit of one precious life.

Burial Services

There are different services that you can choose for a loved one’s burial, depending upon your individual needs and preferences:

Immediate burial means that your loved one will be buried or entombed without a public service or gathering.

Visitation, also called a viewing, wake, or calling hours, allows family and friends to gather in a room with the departed loved one in an open or closed casket and say goodbye or offer their support and sympathy to the bereaved.

Funeral or memorial services can take place at a funeral home, in a church, or even at your home. The service is a ceremony which serves to celebrate, honor, and remember the life of the deceased. Whether traditional or unique, both the visitation and the funeral service can be personalized to reflect the individuality of your loved one.

Graveside, chapel, or committal services are held at the cemetery, and allow family and friends to be present as their loved one is transferred to his or her final disposition through ground burial.
